Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?
I know that a lot of people around here seem to dislike him, but I thought he played amazing poker during the $1,500 NL tonight.

He played solid, surprised at how quick he fold 66 pf to a MPish raise i think.

I didnt like the check in the turn with Alan when he has the full house.

Re: Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?
Fischman's flop bet might have looked like he was trying to buy the pot - as many will often do. Having failed to win the bet on the flop, many will check the turn - and often will be perceived as weak, thus enticing their opponent to either bet on 4th street or to put more chips into the pot than they otherwise would have on 5th street.
I think a turn check is quite standard here - I think it might get him a free card the next time he checks after a continuation bet (you'll want to leave doubt in your opponent's minds about what the turn check means in the future - strength or weakness) and he certainly isn't worried about giving a free card. What don't you like about the turn check here? |

Re: Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?
But you know the opponent was Allen Cunningham, right?
There is no standard play here, it depends on your opponent, versus Allen I think he could have won more chips if he bet the turn. Because with his play; check the turn and bet the river, he won exactly O extra chips. |

[/ QUOTE ] It's true you can't expect opponents like Allen to make a big mistake vs you, but I agree with Don's analysis that Scott's line was arguably the best way to induce a bluff/bet on the river. I imagine you would have been even more unimpressed if he had just smooth-called the flop, like most players would have done instinctively. |
